Seriously. How many of you are living with a painting that you lived with ten years ago?
I am willing to bet that most of us have decoration, and not something we meditate upon.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
We all get tired of paying attention to the past.
The rub floats not in the money. . .
but in our ability to share.
Personally, I am beginning to play with the animation for the improv-demi-gods "El Grande Conquistador"
and the song goes LIKE THIS. If you click on that musical link you have got to keep in mind that it is TOTAL IMPROVISATION.Free Style.
Much in the vein of Shin Yu Pai's response to my ink drawings;
archaeological relicsfrom Mayan ritual:
Pachychilus

spiral jetties

Poetry above, and motion pictures below.
I've got two screenplays by Lance Norris pulsing through my life. I should try to draw his scripts. .. but they are soooo movie-like. . . I am daunted.
and yet
the collaboration is inspiring.
In order to rest my case, I would like to expose four drawing that I am sending to Timothy Buckwalter, and publicly announce that he can mess them up all he wants.

What I meant to say here is that painting seems silly to me, and yet it is all that I know.
I have some collaborations I could be working on, but they seem endless.
I am torn between practicing what I preach and instant gratification.
Hah!
So, instead, I cobbled together an incoherent blog post and accomplished neither
I suppose the bright side is: I wasn't watching television.
For you.
When it comes to my own painting, maybe I agree with you. But it's OK to be dissatisfied with your own work and not feel like you've arrived at the conclusion(yet).
However, when it comes to the past, I couldn't disagree more. Give me art history (especially painting!) anyday. Someone said "the past is all there is." That about sums it up.
Even that video Timothy posted is ancient history.
El Grande Conquistador is the future. Thanks for posting. Curious about the playing with animation.
